Plastic Injection Molding Manufacturer
Nothing Short of Precision Injection Molding
Injection molding is a manufacturing process used to produce parts by inserting molten material, often plastic, into a mold cavity for shaping, then solidifying it into a final product – it also happens to be our expertise. As one of the most popular plastic manufacturing processes, injection molding is widely used for different applications across diverse markets. Backed by decades of experience, AdvancTEK provides injection molding solutions of varying sizes and volumes for these industries:
- Industrial
- Medical
- Battery & Energy Storage
- Telecommunications
- Powersports & Recreation
- Construction & Agriculture
We also specialize in producing large plastic parts for your bigger projects.
Is Injection Molding Right for You?
Injection Molding -- Explained.
Injection molding is a great option for higher-volume plastic molding projects. Melted plastic resin is injected into a mold to produce high-quality and often complex components. Parts often have “A” and “B” side design features that are functional, structural, or aesthetic. There are several benefits to injection molding, but the suitability of this process is entirely dependent on the details of each project.
Advantages
- High production rates
- Repeatability
- Lower price per unit than many other plastic manufacturing process
- Tight tolerances
- Minimal waste
- Designability that allows for complex part geometries and decoration
Disadvantages
- High initial tooling costs making this process more suitable for high-volume production runs
If injection molding doesn’t sound like the right fit for you, explore our other manufacturing processes: Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) and Thermoforming.
Materials Used for Injection Molding
The best material for your product will depend on its desired properties and application, budget constraints, and environmental factors. Weeding through all the hundreds of material options can be daunting, but that’s what AdvancTEK is here for! Our team provides expert advice on material selection based on these considerations.
